Oleksandr Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 So when does it start for you? Would it be after Halloween, perhaps after Guy Fawks day. Or seems most people start in December. Good morning Britain when they put out the christmas tree for some. When does yours start? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the spirit. Peace and goodwill...well maybe just the peace...except for the unemployed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I saw a flat with Christmas decorations up last weekend and have seen a few more since - way too early in my book. I'll probably start feeling it from about the 15th this year as I've got a family birthday to deal with before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Like it or not, Christmas is a Christian festival. The mass or celebration of the birth of Christ. Therefore the preparations for this festival begin on the first Sunday of Advent. Don't shoot the messenger... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm generally happy with the old fashioned 12 days before and 12 days after for the tree etc., give or take a few days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 People get into the contrived Christmas pageant way too early, ffs last year I saw people with their decorations up on 26th December! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, they should be given a shovel each and put on call for heavy snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
